An adolescent girl was in her room.
It looked very characteristic of two problems.
It had a domineering feeling of youthful error. And at its source, an excessive parental love.
Too much pink, too girly.
She was used to it, but she would never let anyone else into this room, which could make the blindest man feel blinded.
But she would never admit she regretted her decision.
To her, it was half her life ago, but to her parents, it was only a moment ago.
While she did not share their outlook, she understood that simple fact just from their habit of mentioning her younger self as if it was yesterday with anyone, with no care for h
The discord (still in need of keywords): discord.gg/j6pKFkq26p I took a one-day break, but because I wrote more than one chapter a day a few times, I had uninterrupted uploads. That's a new feeling to me, to not write in urgency. A lot of things there, like social experience gaps, suicidal thoughts, etc are directly from my own experience, so it was especially easy to write, I just had to think back on the past.
It's tomorrow. I used up more energy than I expected so it took me almost 14 hours to recover. I said I was going to visit her, but to do so, I need to get a summon. By a human summoner, with that. I need to be in the right world after all. A few hours after waking up, I finally get a summon to answer. The waiting time was shorter than I expected. I answer it. My apparition could be way faster, but I would lose credibility and theatricality. So I slowly appear. Bit by bit. I come up through the circle, eyes closed.
-The terms "anyone or anything" should have an exception, so you are not able to change the terms of the contract after signing it. It is after all possible to change it so long as both parties agree, and the wish that is fulfilled would allow you to be the only party whose will matters. I see. She thought. And: -Seems fine with me. She answered. -Wait for a while while I prepare the contract. The Devil said. She already expected it, so she was not surprised when he eventually took a contract out of thin air. Compared to his appearance or to the scale of her wish, it was nothing.
That month passed in a flash. It is now time for me to head back to the Senate. I anticipated the final review a lot, but I forced myself to not be worried, for there was nothing I could do about it. The final review will definitely make me know how my proposal was turned into law. While there are procedures to ensure the fairness of the translation, such as appealing for the whole reviewing process to be redone, they are limited both in number and use. It wouldn't be good for a menaced Devil to delay the application of the laws forever under threat, after all. Above three times, it can only be used so long as the Devil who made the proposal convinces the majority of the Sen
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (1)-So it is time.He was the current Pope.He only took my functions five years ago. While realistically, he was close to his death, he still didn't expect to have to resort to this so early.In all of the Church's history, there were rumors that a secret order existed inside it. Only when becoming Pope did he learn of their existence.While there were several secret orders, one was special.Contrarily to any other secret order, they were not entitled to act in any way, and did not follow the orders of the Church.
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (1) There was one Breviary that was never used in the Church. It was hundreds of years old. The amount of dust that collected on it, though, spoke of a different story. The Pope took it. Once he was in a private room, he opened it, and recited a few lines of Latin. This was the trigger. I felt the call. I came. Slowly. Bit by bit. I came through the circle.
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (2)If there's a good point to this, it is that it prevented the Pope from giving me troublesome requests.Without any requirements to fulfill other than my own interpretation of the contract, I just need to fix that problem, not kill the thing.So sending it back is an option.It's not that I would be unable to do so, but the already high difficulty would be even higher. If right now I have a chance in a thousand of succeeding, then I'd get closer to one in a million chances of success to kill it.Now... I ask the Pope:-What kind of damage did this thing do?-It left a h
Keywords: Galvanize/Deaden/Breviary/Rust (3) The setup is simple. I have the Pope alone in the center of the room, and everyone else hidden. I thought for a while about what it could be that made me invisible to its eyes, and I could only settle for energy as an answer. Devils aren't so different from other species on the constitution side, but they are constantly full of energy. Because of its concentration, it is more common to see Devils as balls of energy brighter than the sun. But it could also be, that to a creature that feels through energy but is unable to feel a range of energies that includes Devils would have all other forms of energy emitted by the Devils go undetected.
It was the 1960's. It wouldn't be a lie to say that women had little freedom at that time. In fact, it had been so for a long time. The environment people lived in made it so. Over the years, things changed a bit, but it never went too far. Women were allowed to vote, they were allowed to make many more decisions, because their environment made it feel wrong to not do so. Still, the environment did do its job. With the past war, more women started working. It was out of necessity at first, but once you had a taste of freedom, you could only have two possible reactions: enjoy the choice, or be overwhelmed by it. Both led to opposite results, but it was obvious that freedom was more enjoyed than rejected. In the modern wor
